Slicing Open A $1,100 Gucci Bag To See If It's Worth It | Refurbished | Insider
![[🔴LIVE] งานประกาศรางวัล MAYA TV AWARDS 2024 : มายามหาชน](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nwmWYXXVwBY/mqdefault.jpg)
his name is Tanner Leatherstien and he works with leather, hilarious
And Tanner like one who tans leather lol; maybe his name is made up 🤷🏻♀️
@@fluffytalguw5883 Definitely made up
He is Turkish, and Tanner is a Turkish name, but the leathersrein must be made up, it's not a real last name
Well, glad his name isn't Tainty McTaintface. He'd be swamped with repairs from the Kool-Aid haired people that screamed out their safe-word, "ARMAGEDDON!!" a lil too late.
It's actually his pseudonym. His actual name is Volkan Yilmaz. His family have a tannery in Istanbul. I gotta say, his pseudonym pick is really smart.
His videos make me really appreciate craftsmanship. I will purchase based on quality and craftsmanship over brand recognition . I purchased my first preowned Ferragamo bag from eBay based on his recommendation on the brand.
Why would you choose brand recognition over quality
The quality of the bag is wonderful. I chose it because I wanted it.
If you can't afford designer bags and feel a certain way about expensive designer bags, then don't watch this video. Like do you read a video title before clicking on it? The title makes it clear that the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful and although I can't afford these bags yet, I know one day I will. I wanted to know which designer bag was truly worth my hard-earned money and one that I would get the most out of. That being said, if you're reading this, thank you for sharing this video with us and please make more videos like this. Maybe LYXBAG is your next choice?
@@GinTenemaza who cares I can watch what I want. Relax
the LYXBAG would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!
This video was very interesting to see, I wish to see more bags deconstructed.
Check out his channel, he disassembles all types of luxury brand leather goods. It’s really fascinating to see
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *esluxscom*
I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch cost $800 and was made of the exact same materials - brass, synthetic pearls, glass. The other one is a $40 one LYXBAG Backpack Replica - also works for Compare - I can't find any difference and still use it for the gym
There's a reason why Bernard Arnault of LVMH is the richest man in the world. "Luxury" goods have probably the highest mark up
I really appreciate your videos, you just want the best for people and I can tell you’re a kind and caring soul. Thank you for all that you do!
I live in a mid sized city and get asked about my *esluxscom* all the time. It’s not annoying, but I am always surprised when they ask
I started watching *esluxy* videos when I was in a really bad place with my panic disorder..

That was amazing to watch..!! Great job..!! Thank you for the update, Insider..!!
Thank you for sharing. You provided a very detailed analysis.

Believe in His death and resurrection and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour and be saved and turn to Him!
Have an amazing day!

I like how many people are saying ‘oh it’s just 50 bucks of materials, why pay so much?’ And many of them likely have entire careers where, if we were to go purely by material costs, would be a bunch of word documents saved onto a hard drive. Should we just assume then, that their entire careers are worth the cost of a hard drive? Of course not. Sewing a straight line, turning corners, casting brass and tanning leather are all craft skills honed over years of work. So fair enough, it’s not worth the whole 1,100 dollars but it would be silly to just think you should be able to get that bag for 115.
That’s also the cases for musical instruments. Craftsmanship is also important, and high end luxury brands certainly do have good craftsmanship in general. But whether that is worth it is up to you.
If you're going purely by material cost, almost every product is worth nothing. Humans process and add value to materials to make them in actual products.
Great point
Can you imagine how much it would cost if they were paying the people who make these products what their craftsmanship is really worth.
Nahh, i’ll take it for 110$
Your selfish craftsmanship ain’t worth a thousands dollar either 😂
@@adrey2134 you can do that, but the shop selling you a $110 bag is probably going to make the bag for $10 dollars or even less.
The BRANDING is the one that heavily contributes to the price rather than the craftsmanship
I still love my LV reverse monogram HIDUPZ clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about HIDUPZobsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.
the HIDUPZ would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!
HEY LYXBAG !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day.
Holly Shat! Nice video. I got into leather couple years ago and got a few nice shoes/boots, belts, and gloves now. I like learning about clothes recently. Classic fashion and functionality but I never considered the actual cost of a product though I do get stuff at good prices by buying sales or second hand for things like belts. My wife, however, bought a Coach bag for like $1200 or $1400. I did research and could tell it was well made but still the price just seemed outrageous. At least it was much bigger than the one in this video.
One thing though is the $115 price tag. I wish that was broken down more. I mean $115 for materials AND labor. If this was handmade, which I'm assuming it is, how long would that take and how much are they paid an hour? If this is machine made I can understand but $115 still seems so low. Probably the name branding still working it's magic on me lol.
After watching this video I have a better appreciation for the price for Men's items. Sure there are overpriced men's items but when I'm looking for something of quality, like leather shoes, I can find brands like Meermin that are great for a super low price when on sale or Allen Edmonds seconds or sales when they go on.
zanetrain1651. Before you spend good money on Allen Edmonds again do some research on them. TH-cam has videos of an evaluation, I think.
My mom bought one *amzrepe* 6 and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
Unless you’re buying for a fashion piece, or something you can hand down (so not fast fashion), or you really like it, I wouldn’t buy high end brands because I feel you can buy cheaper brands that are just as high quality.
Wonder how the buckle factors in
Still don’t get the obsession to go broke purchasing “stuff” in this temporary world.
We need to focus on the well-being of others in terms of mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health.
why are you assuming that the people buying these things are going broke?
@@mikemarkovich69
Well if you’re obsessed with overpriced luxury goods, you will eventually go broke.
@@mikemarkovich69 Not an assumption. 1. Lots of people of low to average income often want to feel better about themselves and are brainwashed to buy high-end brands so they can appear to be living a better lifestyle.
It’s pretty much how society has always been.
2. You see the math…whomever is paying 10x more in cost for something will eventually go broke.
People need to prioritize needs vs wants.
@@MrTee12 the market for these products isn't exactly the average YT commenter. I'm not sure why you're assuming that regular people with regular jobs are out constantly buying Gucci handbags. Doesn't really make sense imo. Exceptions exist of course, but imo the people you're describing are the exception here.
@@IsthisMike Right but the people who can't afford them and go broke buying them are an exception to their market.
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in HIDUPZ other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
I stick with my Prada nylon fanny pack, or I prefer an older fanny pack. But you were the first person who made me really love this awesome travel bag. It fits inside like a small bag HIDUPZ
Such a gorgeous collection! Your Jumbo black caviar with silver hardware is on my wish list for the same reasons that you stated! Lovely! HIDUPZ
I think $115 is a bit low for the estimation. That snake buckle alone would hike up the price, depending on what it's made of. If that bag were made in the US, it would definitely be more like $300+ for labor and materials. $115 seems more like middleman-making-money-off-of-a-sweatshop kind of pricing. I've paid $115 for a plain, smooth leather bag from an artisan in Europe, so with all the stitching required for this Gucci bag and the metal, the estimation is kinda off, IMO.
Well, I used to work at Versace and Balenciaga. I also knew staff at LV, Prada and Gucci; we often talked about which products to avoid buying that season which were poorly made. Most hardware for luxury bags are made of a cheap brass or steel core and then galvanized and plated in a nicer finish. The custom hardware is nice but it wouldn't raise the price too much. a buckle like that ordered in bulk would add maybe 30-40 dollars. Also, there are no leather tannery sweatshops. That is skilled labor; sweatshops are used for construction not fabrication of raw materials like leather.
@@anthonyd9844 Thanks for the insight! I will clarify that I didn't mean the leather was from a sweatshop; just that a whole bag produced in a sweatshop from, say, China is going to cost far less than a bag 100% made in the USA. So, to me, $115 is a price I'd expect from a middleman/dropshipper who bought bags from China to sell.
I paid close to $400 for Made in USA suede roller skates, which sometimes go on sale for $300. So, I would expect a leather bag to cost somewhere in that ballpark. Bags are harder to sew than boots, anyway. (I also got insight into pricing from the Rose Anvil channel, which takes apart shoes and estimates material + labor costs. They also make their own leather products and price them appropriately.)
Lots of people speculate that luxury brands get bags and shoes made in China and just do the finishing touches in Italy, France, Spain, etc. so that they can stamp the product with "Made in Italy" or whatever country. It's assumed that that is why the quality can be poor or hit-or-miss. But is that true?
@@chibiusa 'i did..' therefore my truth trumps others', nice logic
@@alileeisonethebridge ???
@@chibiusa There are sweatshops in the USA, genius. "Made in the USA" doesn't mean jack anymore if you're buying new. Also 97% of our consumption comes from overseas. There are also countless ethical companies overseas. I smell xenophobia in your comment, whether you meant it or not.
I was in Turkey recently and had a empriente multi pouchette with me. They show me a HIDUPZ bag and it looked just like it.
Absolutely love the coat you are wearing! and the LYXBAG bag !
This 1,100 dollar bag is well made great craftsmanship its made of quality materials - if you will hire a good leather worker plus the materials to make a bag identical to this the total expense will be 110 dollars 😢
Bro in Bangladesh that will cost less than 11 dollar!!
@@monirbabu8605 🤧 this Luxury brands are not worth it.
@@monirbabu8605and that's bad, the over exploitation of the labour is a big problem in Bangladesh. Tbe craftsman should be paid way more
I’m his subscriber. He makes great videos and he truly opened my eyes about luxury bags. I no longer fantasise nor desire those brands tganks to his videos.
Thank you for your reviews they are always informative and helps us understand how the bags are made.🥰
sold this woc bag in black，but I have to say it’s a good durable bag,just I don’t use it often enough .Its beautiful, if I don’t have the one bag in one bag out thing I would prefer just keep it.
Jerry rig everything 😀 please continue with this kind of work 🙏
This is a brilliant idea for a brand analysis!
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have the LYXBAG as my travel bag and not have to take care of it. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

Thank you so much HIDUPZ for taking us shopping…my wish list just got longer
Not anymore! 😂 kidding I just got into leather work so I really appreciate this content. Much love
It would of been interesting to see the vechain verification tag status, if it had it. Was that what the little plastic rectangle was?
Do you find it too wide/big and bulky? I’ve just bought the *amzrepe* which is basically the same width and my only worry is it bumping into things and wear on the corners, has yours scuffed?
Unless it has 1k hidden in there, it's not worth it.
Only market decides. Do your reading on Adam Smith.
It is not worth it in any case as it’s made of a tortured animal that didn’t stand a chance and whose cries and agony will forever remain a unheard/unseen ghost inside the walls of the slaughterhouse
@@elenasingleterry5854 Lmao veganism is a cult
These are bags sold at Brown shoe store. Or shopping malls.
Excellent report
The *rrcopys* bags are gorgeous in their size, weight and color. Bought pink, cream and blue. I think I might go back and order the light lilac, light blue and red. I own some high priced designer handbags, but I like these even more!
Tanner Leatherstein??? Is that real? His parents were quite mischievous 😂
One of my friends (RIP) was named Bambi Disney. Another friend was a medical director at our plant hospital, her name is Rey Sincain (Raising Cain).
One of my teachers’ dad was named Harry Bals…
I doubt it since he seems Eastern European🤣
@@ellietenenbaum3486
Lol, he doesn't. Have you ever been there? He said he is from Turkey and kinda looks like that.
Eastern Europeans are pale and light, in general. Not all, but in general, Ukraine, Russia, Poland would be the territory, sometimes people include Baltics (more Northern, but whatever).
@@josipag2185 You realize that Turkey is right across from Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria and part of Turkey is actually on the European continent, right? If you think Eastern Europeans are pale you might be confused.
10x markup. You're paying for the status as well as the store or boutique as well as the sales commission.
God bless this woman! Her *luxdups* bag is amazing
Leather, paper and metal and logos make thousand-dollar luxury products. Crazy world.
Very interesting.

No matter if it's the HIDUPZ or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack looks or the metal constituents
No. Nothing about the materials, design functionality, or "craftsmanship" of that bag makes it worth anything more than $99
Може і так.
My *rrcopys* tote has been in use for years and it still looks as good as when I first bought it. The quality is simply unmatched. In the near future, I plan to buy another color and style to match my clothes and shoes
You are disrupting the luxury brand myth and I'm here for it.
En el momento en que vi el bolso LYXBAG , supe que tenía que tenerlo
My husband loves this design by gucci.
I don’t miss a day a week HIDUPZ hydrate This show
Very interesting..... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Loved everything you’ve showed here! I was really surprised about the HIDUPZ crossbody. Love it!
The variety of textures in the LYXBAG pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
I looked at a lot of backpacks before deciding to *topluxs* their bag. I'm so glad I did. This is a beautiful backpack that looks well made. I bought it for an upcoming trip and am so excited to have it. It only took a few days to get here, so the shipping was fast. I highly recommend it and will buy again. It also makes a great gift.
Perfect name for his occupation. Tanner Leatherstein.
Wow. Tanner in Insider (No pun intended) 😮
I want to see you do a Brahmin bag next!!!!
Good work!
I often see a lot of people praising *rrcopys* bags in the comment area, has anyone bought them? Is it really so beautiful?
ASMR Cute Video? Yes 🤩
It's the brand value ALWAYS. There no way any bag cost could be justified otherwise.
My friend sells it HIDUPZ It looks like the real thing you showed. It even comes with an authenticity card that matches the serial number of each bag. But her fake was $500.
It's worth it because I know you're financially irresponsible for buying it
This was pretty interesting. I’m curious which high fashion brands use shitty leather and low quality parts
I almost bought a new LV handbag that was never filled. I'm so glad I saw this video and read all the comments. I'd rather buy a $100 bag with $1000 in it than any other *rrcopys* is good!

*rrcopys* 's wallet is a sleek, elegant looking wallet. Red is so elegant and icy. I can't wait to add this to my wardrobe. Thanks.
Do their shoes next! The shoes next!
*rrcopys* 's bag size is perfect! Colors match stock photos. And it's great quality at an amazing price, love it!
There are amazing leather goods with top quality leather and craftsmanship that are much less once you take off the name brand
The same people that hate on luxury brands will foam at the mouth when mentioning an expensive car like Mercedes even though cars as an industry are homogenized.
Oh that Pink *yutulu* bag
not worth it all luxury brands aren't worth it in general go for newer brands that actually care for the products and clients
Combining elegance and luxury HIDUPZ
Great video & examination of a Gucci handbag construction. Basically the answer is NO & you are buying the name for status 🤭
I wanna get my girlfriend a good bag but now I don’t want to get some cheap garbage like this. What brand do you recommend? Idk anything about bags and leather goods. My budget is $2000-$5000 thanks 😁
Impressive. 👌👌👌
I can save you seven minutes: "No."
If I had a lot of money, I might buy it. If I had to save up, no thank you.
My daughter Nancy, who holds a high position in New York, wears this bag. She loves its color, size and weight. Thank you. *rrcopys*
Dear, I finally found what I was looking for here *gtdupe* . I don’t know whether yellow and white is suitable for you or black and gray. In order to avoid the difficulty of choosing, as an adult, I choose both. do you understand me? wish you a happy life.
Nothing we can do about fakes…I could care less how many people have the same bag as myself…that makes it really spoken for.. I hate when people say they don’t want a certain purse because everyone has it….well everyone has a hole are we gonna get rid of ours because of that? Everyone one does something different with their niceshopx for example their style, your style will set you apart.
HIDUPZ I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter
I think the reasons we used to buy luxury goods are no longer valid. I love the feel of a well-made, buttery soft leather bag. Now that these mansions are cutting corners and jacking up prices, young people don't see the value and the luxury side, so all that's left is for them to see. This is sad and I hope they eventually go back to their basics and reduce the mass production of bags. And now some replicas are doing really well. Recommend *rrcopys*
When it comes to luxury items，I honestly choose *hidupz*
so it's basically $950 for the name?
Exactly
you sound suprised
you could take 50-60 for handling shipping and taxes, but yeah, they earn 8x the cost of manufacturing
Well, yes. And people will continue buying because of that, so they will continue doing it.
advertisement, fashion shows, highly payed designers. and I think the cost estimate was for asian production, which may or may not be where gucci has those particular bags made. I would guess that they are made in asia, I think the big fashion brands have most of their production volume made in asia, and only run small productions for their highest grade products in places like italy.
the HIDUPZ would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!
HEY LYXBAG !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day.

I’m surprised that was such a well made bag. Gucci has developed a reputation of being relatively low quality for a luxury brand. This bag shows otherwise.
well, the guy may have rated it generously. the cardboard is a bit offputting to me, and I don't know if the guy was able to judge whether the lamination would be durable. and that thick plastic on the leather certainly wasn't "minimal finish", even if what was underneath was real leather surface grain rather than a split leather surface.
yeah.... not 1000$ quality, that looks like 10$ quality where im from
Legit 1000$ in my country can cover 2 months of living expenses, rent included
Low quality? I’ve actually never heard of Gucci being accused of low quality. I think some people think the brand is tacky and loud but not bad quality
@@yveje9720 I think most people, when they refer to the low quality, are referring to the outlet bags, which there isn't a real way to distinguish the two together. Gucci products, from my experience, have pretty good quality. Definitely not top materials, but the construction is extremely good
@@EricPetersen2922This is the first time I heard someone mentioning Versace's quality slipping. Are you referring to the designs or the quality of the products? From my experience, they seem decently made. I love Gianni's vintage bags, but I don't believe they have the quality as modern Versace products do today. Just my experience, ofc
Nice balanced video. I really appreciate the professional tone.
The reality is: if you're rich and famous, your lyxbag bags are seen as a sign of success. If you are just an ordinary worker working a 9-to-5 job, your real bag is likely to be

Now I am convinced that I bought *esluxy* fakes. Luxury brands exaggerate their prices and are not worth it. Even if I had money, I would not buy them. I would rather buy jewelry.

Bro is called Tanner Leatherstein 💀💀 cmon
lol I didn't notice
Any luxury brand name is never worth it as far as functionality goes. You're only getting value from these things if you have social circles that judge you on them and you consider it a good use of money to keep those social circles from looking down on you.
haha thats one way to look at it, though that depends on what part of the world you live in: i doubt most people are vapid socialites. I used to work in high end retail and I knew a of of people who bought luxury to feel fashionable or trendy. A lot of customers buy luxury for themselves too; if your spending that kind of money you better enjoy your purchase at the end of the day regardless of who you hang with.
screw that !!
I think the mid-tier luxury brands can be worth it though because the craftsmanship and materials for these brands are often excellent. I have a Coach backpack that was the only bag I owned for 3 years ( I have since* bought a briefcase for work) whilst I was commuting on public transit to school and work. This thing went everywhere with me and it is in fantastic condition. The seams and colour have all held up even as I continue to use it. Contrastingly, I have many friends and classmates who bought and wore out multiple purses and backpacks within the same amount of time (frayed edges, ripped stitching, faded colour, discoloured hardware, etc.) and they paid for knock-off or cheap brands. I'm not saying that these bags are the only way to get what you want (if you take care of your bags or they don't see much of the world then maybe you don't need to go up in price range, for example). However for those of us who want to have bags that are a functional investment and overall, last much longer so that we reduce waste, paying for a brand that has a reputation for quality work is definitely sensible and not necessarily about social clout.

Leather is never astronomically expensive unless it’s crocodile or alligator.
Or shell cordovan
That all usually comes down to size and thusly increases the price. Even the shell cordovan Horween Adam Grove is referring to is a small specific area of the cow's body. It has more to do with yield, just like snake or other small animals, those tend to be more expensive because you either have to make only exclusively small accessories or seam and pattern around small pieces to make larger styles. Also, leather tends to be less expensive when it's a byproduct vs a skin that has been raised for that purpose.
